Anixa Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIX), a biotechnology company focused on the treatment and prevention of cancer and infectious diseases, announced today that the European Patent Office has issued and published the first European patent for its novel ovarian cancer vaccine technology. This technology was invented and developed at Cleveland Clinic and Anixa is the worldwide licensee.
The patent is titled, "Ovarian Cancer Vaccines," and the inventors are Drs. Vincent K. Tuohy, Suparna Mazumder, and Justin M. Johnson, all of Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Amit Kumar, President and CEO of Anixa Biosciences, stated, "We are pleased that the European Patent Office (EPO) has issued this patent. This ovarian cancer vaccine has the potential to eliminate one of the deadliest malignancies in women. Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed after it has reached Stage 3 or 4, and when it is difficult to effectively treat. Five-year survival statistics for ovarian cancer are poor, so if this vaccine is able to eliminate the onset of ovarian cancer, the impact for women and for our healthcare system will be tremendous."
